TREATMENT OF SUBMERGED
MOTOR
If the outboard motor is submerged,
immediately take it a Yamaha dealer.
Otherwise, some corrosion may begin
almost immediately. If you cannot
immediately take the outboard motor to
a Yamaha dealer, follow the procedure
bellow for taking care to minimize
engine damage.
1) Thoroughly wash away mud, salt,
seaweed, etc. with fresh water.
2) Remove the spark plugs and face the
spark plug holes downward to allow
any water, mud or contaminants to
drain.
3) Drain the fuel from the carburetor.
4) Feed fogging oil or engine oil
through the carburetors and spark
plug holes while cranking with the
manual starter or emergency starter
rope.
5) Take the outboard motor to a Yama-
ha dealer as soon as possible.
cC
Do not attempt to run the motor until it
has been completely inspected.
